I didn't know that... that probably explains my failure in no blocks... Thanks.

You will also have to allow some sites to see you, like google for example. Otherwise you won't get to certain websites or webpages.

Peer guardian has a forum that's pretty good, I would also recommend the B.I.S.S. website..they are also known as bluetack. Another good one if you have any questions about it is....ISO hunt.

Personally, I only turn mine on at "certain times". If you do and you decide to download things that companies might get upset at you about....you will need to leave it on for a while after you shut down your torrent application, because you will still get hits from anti-p2p groups for a little while.

I found the best way to update it is to disable it, update it and then enable it again.

As far as schools and business' hitting you...yeah, I get that alot. I get China and even Middle Eastern countries hitting me at times. I don't know what that's all about....but if your not doing anything that might be misinterpreted as illegal downloading, then I wouldn't be concerned. I mean....you went this long without it and you was probably getting hit by the same people.

Yeah, exactly. It's a great protection for American pirates that are being spied on by the gov and big companies. We don't have this problem in Canada. :P
"Hit" is a big word. Hit can also mean ping.

There's the CRIA, but they do nothing.
